Sleep hygiene

Sleep hygiene is the controlling of "all behavioural and environmental factors that precede sleep and may interfere with sleep."

The International Classification of Sleep Disorders-Revised states on page 74: "The importance of assessing the contribution of inadequate sleep hygiene in maintaining a preexisting sleep disturbance cannot be overemphasized." In the ICSD-R, the diagnosis inadequate sleep hygiene is classified as an extrinsic sleep disorder, code 307.41-1.
